You might get the gear up but space isn’t that generous in the wheel well and any major deformation of the tyre could easily prevent it from extending again if broken tread snags on something in there.

Dispatch with a U/S brake calls for a delay in gear retraction to allow the affected wheel to slow down, however immediate retraction is allowed in the event of an engine failure. The performance penalty when applying the MEL is considerable.

In this situation I would not retract the gear unless I absolutely had to and would definitely be flying the EOSID if terrain was a factor.
